7-Skin in one step?
The Snail & Azulene Essence from TIA'M is so unbelievably thicky thick thick and hydrating, it feels like we've applied 7 layers of toner on our face after just one application. Seriously, just pour it on your fingers and spread it on your face. It takes a good 5 minutes to fully absorb, but boy does it make your skin juicy!
This converted us to conditioner bars
We swear trying out the Kitsch Bond Repair Conditioner Bar made a difference to our barb-wire ends (thanks to over-bleaching). And it's only been about 3 weeks of use. Just leave it on for 10 mins and make sure it's stored in a dry space to prolong the bar's life!
A treat for your skin
The Ground Rice and Honey Mask from Beauty of Joseon is SO lovely. It's more like a spa treatment than a typical clay mask, and leaves pores cleaner without stripping It takes a good 20 minutes to do its thing, so put this mask on, some under-eye hydrogels, and listen to a true crime podcast....ahhh.
Our favourite all-purpose balm
Viruses and colds have ripped through half the office, and we've had peeling noses from all the honking going on. Ugh. Enter the SKIN&LAB Barrierderm Relief Balm: this gets slapped around nostrils every morning and night, and heaps red noses within a day or two.

Skin Burns After Skincare? It May Be a Damaged Skin Barrier!
How to repair a damaged skin barrier (from someone who has had to repair their skin barrier multiple times)
Skin irritations and allergies are never fun, but a damaged skin barrier is a whole new level of hell. The good news, is that our skin is a resilient organ and can heal relatively quickly. The not-so-good news is that you'll need to peel back all your fancy skincare for the time being, get consistent with a simple routine, and resist putting any active ingredients on your skin until it heals. You can do it, let's get into it!
Beauty of Joseon's Revive Eye Serum: Does it live up to the hype?
This is the first eye cream I ever used to completion
Listen, I've always been a bit sketchy on eye creams and serums. Are they actually necessary? Do you even need one? Why are they so tiny but so expensive? I'll be honest: I didn't bother during my 20s and early 30s. If it was good enough for the rest of my face, it was good enough for my eye contour area! Then my late 30s hit me like a trout slap in the face, and so did the sudden dryness, fine lines, and pilling if I dared to wear makeup.
The Best Eye Cream? We've tried it
The Best Eye Cream? We've tried it
What does an eye cream do? Well, it pretty much does what a moisturizer would. It can hydrate, soothe, treat fine lines, hyperpigmentation, etc. So do eye creams really make a difference? And is an eye cream really better than moisturizer for your face? The answer is, they can indeed make a difference to your skin AND they can be better.
